Miniature models built by Markus Rothkranz

[@TheSwearingChef]

Dude likes loud music, blowing stuff up, making models, having fun, not growing up... My hero!

[@MikevomMars]

Yeah, males tend to love loud noise for some strange reason. That's why all of my friends got deaf meanwhile.

[@michaeltruhett4170]

You are one bad ass modeler, no doubt about it. I'm 56 and still building models myself. Nothing like you do, mine are plastic kits, but they're still just as fun as the first one I did as a kid. Thank you for sharing your passion and your video!

[@1zymn1]

This guy is just a master at everything. I've been watching his lighting/camera videos and now I find out all this other stuff he's done. He's earned his way, I'm super impressed.

[@thisolddog2259]

I can tell you're a really kind person and you really do create magic! And your right about not letting a part of you grow up. I'm 59 year's old and I love miniature worlds. I've built plank on frame ships, monster sculptures and even built a moonscape compound for a friends untitled amateur sci-fi film. In a way I'm a lot like you because when I start a project I'm completely obsessed and please don't talk to me while I'm working because I'll loose track! And to all you guy's and gal's out there that hooked up with an artist and suddenly figured out that we're a little different, keep this in mind.... When we're working, we're not ignoring you. It's just that we've so much ticking upstairs and allot of us have trouble focusing if we're distracted. You fell in love with an artist because he or she is different so don't try to take away the driving force behind what you fell in love with.

[@Dougout92]

Absolutely over the top.....Excellent work. Thanks for sharing and inspiring......

[@johnprudent3216]

People like you, Mr. Rothkranz, inspired me as in my younger years when watching shows like Movie Magic (seeing how those meticulously detailed models, and such, were made). And you still do in all the creative things I do- albeit not half as cool add what you do, but you inspire me none the less. Awesome stuff!

[@YvetteUgalde]

Markus, I have the uttermost respect and admiration for you. The amount of dedication and love that you have put in your work is just incredible. You are an inspiration to us all!

[@murohazzard]

Wow! Miniatures are so well defined and your creative efficiency is quite remarkable. You are truly the epitome of a successful man! You do what you love and you reap the rewards!

[@BadDriversOfTheIllawarra]

You can really tell the passion he has for his stuff & how proud he is of his creations, but you can tell he is quite humble. Respect.

[@tinkerseeya754]

How does he make them so quickly. The detail is extraordinary. I truly would like to know how the makes them so quickly???

[@BrianFowlie]

i thought the same!!

[@leonidas6140]

As a prototype developer that built car parts from scratch for a tier one supplier for the big three, I can assure you....he didn't build all those so quick. Him and his team, maybe two other guys did.

[@ironworld9822]

Kitbashing. Taking parts from tons of different model kits and integrating together to make new pieces. Usually surface detail, or some sort of unique item on the object. For instance, in the film Alien the modelers kitbashed tons of Star Wars kits for the surface detail and various other objects on the oil refinery Nostromo, as well as many other ships.

[@MrPolicekarim]

@@ironworld9822Also Star Wars did the same with Tamiyah kits I believe?

These are my favorite kind of videos. Most inspiring. Please make more videos of wood working and film making and videos of this sort. These are the most inspiring videos.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful video , i know im starting late in life but this was the kick in the ass i needed to get my creative juices flowing to build something that people will say Wow too! Thanks again Sincerely Glenn

[@frenchjr25]

I hope these eventually end up in a museum so they can be enjoyed by future generations

[@CarthSader]

Awesome work!!!

[@mmpoggs2033]

Marcus you are so inspiring x I actually drive 60 miles to watch a giant fish clock blow bubbles with a lot of mechanical movements in it. It makes me so happy to see your amazing creations. Thank you for realising that even though you have finished these projects that we thrive on seeing them. I am just full of admiration for your gifts. Thank you for shareing them with us.

[@MarkusRothkranz]

I love those mechanical bubble blowing fish clocks!

[@Klingon-pp4fv]

Since then I've done / or completed 14 military museums and several other private and business displays . But " Your " living the dream I wanted . Congratulations . Keep up the Great work .

[@BrianFowlie]

the time you take to build your creations blows my mind!! My Narcolepsy would never allow that! inspirational to say the least! Amazing gift!

Amazing how quickly you could put these together.

[@LadybugGirlShow]

Amazing work! WOW!

[@7775Kevin]

Amazing work

[@ScottBelleriWorkshop]

I don't know why this popped up in my suggested videos, but I'm glad it did! I've never seen CGI that compares to real models, hope your career niche keeps you working.

[@mrkumaran]

awesome, and simply incredible........

[@Nerflover10097]

That's incredible! The amount of detail is immense.

[@BoffinGrusky]

Love this. I have always wanted to learn how to build things like this. You have inspired me to try! I love your details and so much creativity. Amazing body of work.

[@NicolesNaturals]

You are SO talented!!!

[@bradhouston4734]

Amazing. Making movies with miniatures is my dream!! Love it 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺

[@bradhouston4734]

Hey man, would you do some “what is Foam core? What tools do you need? Carving? Plus, how you made your ships etc? It would be AMAZING!! A real gift to those of us who are finally pursuing our frames!! I’m making a movie at some stage for sure!! Best quote “I love blowing things up!” 🤣 me too. I certainly haven’t grown out of that!! 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺

[@greenlimabean]

awesome. thank you for sharing. I never knew this. so cool. good for you!

[@drrenaethomas]

Wow this is incredible! I watched the whole thing in awe!

[@victoriaallen8271]

Tremendous talent, Markus!

[@Robert-xp4ii]

Amazing!! Now I want to research the materials used and make a miniature building. So inspiring!

[@maxsmodels]

I did the same as a kid and sort of still do. I use camera sfx and photos plus models etc. It is very therapeutic.

[@emmaaargh]

wow! amazing! you are definitely inspiring

[@pixievette5685]

Mr. Markus your work is breathtaking. Your uniqueness shines with such beauty❤️ Your aura & energy is beautiful. Mr. Markus Bless you for inspiring me , that it’s never to late to accomplish & achieve what we want. 😊

[@peaveawwii1]

This is just insane. A truly great artist. How he can built these models so quick is beyond comprehension

[@luisalbertutube]

very inspiring...thanks Markus

[@mat2941]

I’m impressed by the models, but i’m more impressed by how fast he is

[@crumpstudios]

you are an inspiration!

[@unclejg1975]

Dude! You're a model building titan! I've been building models professionally since 2001. I'm very impressed!

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

Cool video! Thanks so much for sharing it! I love miniatures so much, as a film geek, that's all i want to use in my films over CGI.

[@myperspective5091]

Totally cool.👍

[@lightworker6443]

Wow Wow and Wow!!! You are super talented...

[@andrewglagau8148]

Great stuff Markus. I might be 58 but I don't feel that old. I think it's got a lot to do with my maturity. Many would say I'm not mature but I don't care cause what I do I love doing. I may not be the smartest of men but who cares. I'm happy being who I am and that's all what matters to me. My life is my life and I don't have to live it the way others might want me to. I try to look after my health as good as I possibly can and with that said, I thank you for a lot of the health tips you suggested especially the colon cleanse. Anyway, back to being a kid. I think people who think about life too seriously are the ones who grow older before their time. Life to me is ment to be lived and so I simply do just that. I work, eat and sleep during the week and most weekends I have to do what I want. I also love keeping my mind active as I need things to do all the time, creating things, coming up with new ideas, etc..

[@biffmercury]

You RULE! Thank you so much for posting this. I'm an old guy but after watching this, all I want to do is go build a miniature - and blow it up! One cool thing about the computer age is that we now can hit those high speeds necessary to make miniatures look right when you blow them up. I have a Sony camera that can hit 120 fps and an iPhone that can hit 240 fps. When I was growing up, I bought a Beaulieu Super 8 camera that could hit 70 fps. What I didn't know was that it killed the camera in record time. I destroyed it just shooting tests for the real models I was actually gonna blow up. Thanks for bringing back those memories and your models are amazing!

[@MarkusRothkranz]

There's even a little pocket camera now that does 1000 fps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJDIlKpneNKSjKc

[@SB4205]

Great works. I love creating miniature models from childhood. Though never did large scale works.Now building ship models. Your works have given me more oxygen. Thanks for the video.

[@tappedout300xc]

Tip of the hat and much respect for you talent . Really cool vid .

[@ESport211]

When I was 16 years old, I built the whole "water world" for my GI Joes out of boxes! I think I did a pretty damn good job, since, like this guy, I had a real passion for models! The only thing I regret is not having pictures of the model! this was awesome, btw!

[@yortsemloh1156]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

[@dianalee84]

How magical and Stunning! Turning your childhood passion into a career. The dragon ships have inspired me! I'm making a miniature of the Matthew" the ship from Bristol that sailed to N.America. But you've inspired me to make a fantasy Viking Dragon ship next! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations

[@humarmz]

I love your work. Love how awsome everything is that you make.. good job..

[@BarsimonR]

Mind blowing...and congratulations to you for following your dreams and finding your Rainbow :)

[@eaglegp7]

amazing talent in concepts , miniatures and health. what else ?

[@colin5577]

I built a 1:60 scale model of my sister’s house for her to give her husband as a Christmas present. It’s accurate and to scale, but after 5 weeks doing a few hours most days, I still wasn’t finished and had to hand it over without some of its roof. If this guy can build what he says he can in the times he says he does, I am floored. Genuinely impressed. Like.... depressed even.

[@clawhammr666]

Not only is it impressive the quality if your work but doing lot of these in less then a week let alone less then a DAY blows my mind.

[@kiralynnsands762]

you're so talented!

[@OMGs-Life]

WOW!! His miniatures look so REALISTIC.

[@sdjohnsononyoutube]

TOTALLY AWESOME!!! LOVE! LOVE!

[@anthonyskellern5970]

Wow - fascinating stuff - clever, innovative techniques, and the result is amazingly good! I wish they would show interesting creative work like this on UK TV, instead of an obsession with televising cooking divas throwing tantrums and prancing ballroom dancers... :0( One observation (only watched this episode as yet!) - I couldn't help noticing how the side light you used in the garage helped to show the great textures in the model... Might be an idea to add a little desk lamp in the main building scenes ? Anyway - subscribed!

[@bronzemen34]

have always had a love for building miniature models.......Masterful Skills and Creativity :) Mindblowing

[@saleemwaheed9956]

The speed at which he works is unbelievable!

This guy is really intense .... High energy ...and high focus No wonder he is so successful

[@renwick3453]

That's awesome! Do you think you could make a video of how to make these miniature ships or castles?

[@richyrich908]

Mate you are amazing truly gifted I would live to do what you do

[@DEATHANDSADDNESS]

U...R...Outstanding!

[@dudepersonvids]

The video was a little frenetic for me, but super cool stuff!! And I actually have seen bits of behind the scenes for Atomic City before! I do a lot of 3D graphics work (mostly as a hobby) and back before I switched to Blender I used Carrara software. I found some documentation of the CG work on Atomic City when I was learning Carrara, and I remember they filmed bed sheets and used that as displacement to simulate a tent blowing in the wind.

[@osgeld]

that is some darn impressive stuff, not that you would just now be finding that out from me lol... I love models, but it would take me months just to do one of those ships, and it wouldnt look nearly as nice, you sir are impressive

[@jayandrade2785]

Wow! Man I've been building models since I was 6 yrs old,always dreamed of doing it for a living. I applaud you for making a way to do what you love.
